Travis

[z edge]

I really like the Travis cd I bought a while back, ' The Invisible Band'. I love 'side' and 'pipe dreams' and also 'sing'. It is a very "flowing" cd, somehow reminds me of Oasis' 'whats the story morning glory' not in sound but in the way it just flows along!

Sorry you Radiohead folks, I will probably join your club soon

I just wanted to post about another band, and I hope this is the right place

Peace

Ha ha you're funny.

The Invisible Band-talk fits in here! I think, this album has got a kind of Radiohead-feeling. This may be because of the divine RH-producer Nigel Godrich who did this masterpiece. Dear Diary and Pipe Dreams are kinda RH-like, IMO.

I don't see any radiohead comparisons, sorry, 'you may have been waiting in the sun too long' when you came up with that

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Oh yes, there are! At least Dear Diary is very Radiohead-like. And the Sing-intro. These sounds, know what I mean? And the atmosphere.

shoot me and string me up for a heretic, but Fran Healy's voice is evocative of Thom's, imo. Not a dead ringer or anything, but merely just what I said...evocative.

I love travis but I dont really see similarities between the 2. Z edge compared them to Oasis, not Radiohead anyway.
You guys should really get The Man Who and Good Feeling if you like Invisible Band. They are much better albums.

Side is that..a 'nice' song. Listen to the other albums! They are much better!

I've got The Man Who, but I like The Invisible Band better. Anyhow greater songs. Tell me, ZA, isn't Good Feeling a completely different style? I saw them live and they played a song...Happy or so...it was very different! Much more happy and rocking. Is this album really that good???

Yes, Don Vito, 'Good Feeling' is much rockier than the other 2. I suppose it depends on what you like. I love rock so I really enjoyed 'Good Feeling'. U16 girls is a great song on that album.

yes it is. I bought the cd after seeing them perform it live at the mtv-Europe awards(?)

 

[zonelistener]

I have all three Travis CDs and purchased my first radiohead CD last night (The Bends).

I thin Thom and Fran sound pretty similar - or at least thom sounds like Fran on the bends.

zoney
thom would kill u for that one

Saw Travis live last year and they were damn good!!! He even mentioned U2!! It was pretty cool.

yay! I have just been listening to The Bends all last week non-stop. Brilliant album that. OK Computer is still my fav for the moment, but this one is definitely close to tying.

I have been on a Bends binge the last month or so as well. Such a good album.
